Week of 3/31-4/4
-
Dear Fourth Grade Guardians,
I pray this email finds you well. Here’s a look at what's coming up for the week of Mar.31-Apr.4. Please make sure to read all the important information below to avoid any questions that may already be addressed. If you missed any email, you can find updates on my school blog:https://nnolva.sites.ecatholic.com/fourth-grade
Deadlines:- March 31: Assigned Book ( please refer to "Book Clubs" email)
- May 27: 3rd Trimester Mass Reflection (10 reflections required)
3rd Trimester Chapter book
This trimester, instead of a chapter, I am thinking about introducing Book club. Students have chosen their books and you will receive a separate email for the book that your child will be assigned to read. All of the books are from Kate DiCamillo. The book will be due Monday March 31st.
ARK test, Wed. April 2nd.
Grades 1-8 will be taking the ARK test on Wednesday at 8:00 am. I have sent home study guides (pink) in your child’s homework folder two weeks ago. We will work on them this week Monday and Tuesday, but I encouraged students to review them at home whenever they have time.
Please make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before and has a good breakfast on Wednesday morning to help them do their best.
ST Math/AR goal- Please note that I am telling students each week what is the weekly and the daily goal for ST math. On 5 days week, it is generally 90 minutes. Daily, students have at least 20 minutes to work on their ST math in class unless otherwise specified.
- AR goal is 100% for the end of the trimester and at least 50% by April 7th. Please also note that the accuracy should be 85% or above, which ensure that the students have understood their readings.
Classroom Needs- white board markers
Third graders are in need of black, blue, and red whiteboard markers for our classroom. If you are able to donate any, it would be greatly appreciated!

As we have reached the third trimester, I would like to ask for your anonymous, honest feedback about your Fourth Grade experiences thus far. Your feedback will allow me to grow as an educator and make any changes or adjustments needed moving forward.
